As Soon As the Power Returns, THIS Is What I'm Going to Be Watching!

As I'm sure you know, it's been a pretty rough, rocky...and dark few days here in the Northeast. And while many of us are still without power (anyone else feeling like a colonial American Girl doll?), some have been fairly untouched, while others have been utterly devastated. Here's what I'm banking on watching as soon as the power comes back (my fingers and toes are crossed!), and stay safe out there!

*__Flight__*The newest film from the same director as *Forrest Gump*, *Cast Away* and all three *Back to the Future*s (major score), stars [Denzel Washington](/about/denzel-washington), who finds himself caught in the middle of a major controversy when it's discovered that he had alcohol in his system when as captain, he narrowly avoided a plane crash. *Juicy*!

Vamps__

This film is a no-brainer because it combines three of my favorite things: Clueless, Downton Abbey and vampires. How, you ask? Well, Amy Heckerling, the writer/director of Clueless is back in this modern vamp rom-com, teaming up again with Alicia Silverstone (a little older than her Cher Horowitz days, but just as fabulous). The lovely Krysten Ritter co-stars alongside Downton's swoon-able Matthew Crawley, too, so let's be honest -- I'm sold, regardless. Plus, the fact that this looks super cute, doesn't hurt, either.

*__Jack and Diane__*
We love finding budding, rising stars, and this eerie indie fits the bill, with [Juno Temple](/about/juno-temple) and [Riley Keough](/about/riley-keough) (Elvis' granddaughter, and quite the actress, lemme tell ya!) playing a lesbian couple in some dark (read: werewolf-filled) times.

This Must Be the Place

A washed up rocker (Sean Penn, wearing a long black wig and some serious eyeliner) befriends Mary, a goth outcast played by Eve Hewson, while on the hunt for his long lost father. The striking Hewson sure knows how to handle her rock stars. After all, she's Bono's daughter, but after this performance, you just might say, "Bono who?"
